New Brunswick Faculty Council

The New Brunswick Faculty Council (NBFC) consists of faculty representatives elected by each unit (i.e., departments and schools) of Rutgers University-New Brunswick. It is a key shared governance body from which the New Brunswick Chancellor seeks and receives advice on issues affecting and relevant to the New Brunswick faculty and campus (see here, Section I for further detail). 

The NBFC meets roughly monthly during the academic year, on Fridays, over Zoom. Standing committee meetings are noon to 1pm and full meetings run 1:10 to 3pm.

RECENT CONFERENCE on “AI in Teaching: Transformative Tools & Challenges”

This half-day, hybrid-format program included a workshop to introduce the basics of AI use in higher education teaching and learning; a series of practical presentations by Rutgers-NB faculty members on how they use AI in their teaching; and a panel discussion and audience Q&A on challenges and opportunities related to assessing learning in a post-AI teaching world. The conference recording can be found here.
